It's no use increasing the height of the slides; did you try putting \small or \footnotesize just after \begin{frame}?

I'm not sure it makes sense to mess with beamer's page sizes using geometry rather than its inbuilt methods, if I get an error from the example as posted but it works fine if I comment out the \usepackage. Unrelated you are missing a % after \insertframenumber/ (or put a space before the / to match the space after it). Also why do a table of contents "by hand" in latex, normally you just use \tableofcontents

shrink (option 3 above) works very well. Its just that the number in the shrink has to be entered manually. It would be good if [shrink=*] autoresized the frame contents!

putting just [shrink] would "autofit" the content onto the slide.
